Load-Bearing Transducers
Bring Safety to Birmingham Symphony Hall.
The imposing Birmingham Symphony Hall has a world-wide reputation
for its acoustic performance. Part of the acoustic control is a
35 tonne acoustic hood situated directly above the stage.
WE’VE BEEN CERTIFIED
As part of our commitment to our customers,
as well as to the quality of our products and services, we now have
ISO9001:2000 certification. We achieved this accreditation in 2003.
But we don’t believe in standing still...
So we’re now working towards gaining ISO14001. This environmental
standard will underline our commitment to the environment as well
as meeting a requirement of the automotive and aerospace industries.
STRAIN
GAUGES GO DOWN THE TUBES!
How do you measure the circumferential
stress at three points inside a tube while it’s being crushed?
That was the problem posed to PCM by an international oil company.
The tube bore was 2.3 inches and the length 12 inches. MORE
GOING ROUND IN CIRCLES
Measuring stress levels in circular
components calls for careful strain gauge selection.
But when a Wolverhampton based aerospace company approached us with
their problem there were a couple of added difficulties. MORE
HIGH TEMPERATURE, SHARP SHOCK
Imagine the effects on an aluminium block
heated to 475°C then plunged into cold water.
That’s exactly what the University of Limerick wanted to measure
for a heat treatment quenching process, and they approached us to
see if we could help. MORE
